The following describes some of the new features and enhancements toWinNAV since release 0.50, and points out some of the corrections and bugs that were corrected.

Additions and Modifications Since Release 0.50==============================================

oImplemented all features necessary to allow WinNAV to be usedas a replacement shell for Program/File Managers, includingproper detection of WIN.INI "load" and "run" settings, andwarning messages that the Windows session will terminate on"Exit" from shell.

oAdded "End" and "Kill" windows session to File popup menu toallow termination of Windows session from any WinNAV module,even if WinNAV is not used as the Windows shell, for quickerclosings. [Caution: "Kill" windows session does just that, i.e., it kills windows and all open applications (includingopen DOS applications) without further prompts to the user;it exits immediately to DOS with out closing any modified oropen files, and should be used with care.]

oAdded "Option" menu bar selections.

oAdded option to toggle lower and upper character display offile and directory names in listbox.

oAdded option to toggle automatic refresh of list window on andoff; when on, the file list is refreshed each time WinNAVbecomes the active window.

oAdded option to toggle Quick View word wrap feature on and off.

oAdded option to toggle error/message bell (beep) on and off.

oAdded option to toggle auto view on and off when using up anddown cursor keys, allowing faster keyboard movement throughfile listings. When off, user must press spacebar to displaythe selected file.

oAdded additional error checks and message boxes.

oAdded current directory as the default for File Copy and Renamefunctions. Note, if no directory precedes the filename, theroot directory is presumed on rename.

oFile Delete and Rename also work on directories (directories alsobeing files). Also note that directories and files can be "moved"on the same disk by using the File Rename function, and naminga new path.

oDisabled auto view display when selected item is a "removable"disk drive, in order to avoid MS Windows hardware messages andlockups which result when some hardware system's do not havea disk in the selected drive.

oAdded save on exit for preview window word wrap mode, key viewmode and message beep options, so that they become the defaultsfor next session.

oEnhanced global/local explore capabilities. All subdirectoriesare now displayed, rather than just those matching filespec, andparent directories ".." are no longer included in global or branch listings.

oMoved bulk of local data segment's text strings to resource filesto increase available local memory, and to ease translation ofWinNAV to other languages. [Target languages include French andSpanish. Any translators want to volunteer?]

oOther miscellaneous enhancements.

Corrections and Fixes Since Release 0.50========================================

oCorrected spelling of "Togle" to "Toggle" in "Window" popup menu.

oFixed bug which resulted in system lockup, upon application/filelaunch, after a global explore.

oFixed bug which resulted in truncation of parameters in launchcommand line.

oModified code that prevented executable files, i.e., *.BAT, frombeing edited through the use of the File/Edit popup menu; theold code assumed the executable file was a secondary command andlaunched it.

oFixed and enhanced directory/drive switching via list box.

oFixed bug which prevented launching multiple copies of WinNAV.

oFixed bug which prevented Quick View to display text/snoop views of files larger than view buffer (approx. 10k). [Note: Sometimesa large file may still not initially display; if this occurs,toggle the Option Menu Word Wrap on and off to reset buffer.]
